It is becoming increasingly clear how worthwhile investments in guest houses are. Looking back at June, there is good news from the guest house in Okakarara: with an occupancy rate of just under 50%, we had an above-average number of bookings. This surplus particularly benefits the children in our preschool.
Those who booked included Namibian Vocational Training Assessors (vocational school teachers), who examined graduates at the OVTC in Okakarara, as well as, as always, business travellers from local companies (Nampost, electricity provider Cenored, etc.) and government authorities. At the weekend, there were also some private individuals in town for weddings, funerals and similar occasions.
We hope to be able to accommodate as many guests in the future too, perhaps also tourists in transit, so that we can help finance the project as well as possible.
Here in Gobabis too, our guesthouse generates substantial income for the preschool and soup kitchen. We are currently legally required to set up a dining room and reception area. These measures will enhance the guesthouse overall and make our guests’ stay even more pleasant, allowing us to generate the best possible income for our social projects at this location as well.
